Greetings! I am having a real silly problem - probably something simple I've forgotten.
I have been running mysql 3.23.39a on both Windows and Solaris for 5 months now, no problems. I just upgraded the windows machine to mysql 4alpha, and had a problem with passwords. I have one key user database that is password protected (the servlet login has a password on it). If I didn't supply a password to WinMysqlAdmin on the first start-up, then passwords appeared to be disabled. If I erase my.ini and supply a password, everything worked OK. Now to Solaris. I am quite sure that for 3.23.39, I only had to unpack the binary, run the initialization script, and set some permissions. I have done that, and mysql 4 alpha works fine - *except*, passwords seem to be turned off. The test account has a password, but if I supply it, I cannot log in. If I don't supply the password, I can log in. In my 3.23.39 version, I did not have a password on the root account. How do you "turn on" passwords in the Unix (Solaris) version?
